DeSoto Paint Display
01
Artifact Overview
Paint and chemical company DeSoto was formed in 1910 in Des Plaines, Illinois, as a subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Company. DeSoto's paint operation began to lose money in the late 1980s, and the company sold its paint division to Sherwin-Williams. The sale allowed DeSoto to focus on its profitable industrial chemical products.
